ive heard the new 2009 ltr450's are where its at. you dont need to get a thing for it except new tires. you dont need to make it wider because it comes within a half in or racing qualifications.

 

The 09' DS450 and KTM 450 are fully race qualified from the dealer, tires and all, even more so than the LTR. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] But I tell you what, there is a lot of stiff competition for 09'. Hopefully Honda steps up to the plate in 10' because I'm a fan of TRX450's as well.

 

ktm top pick ds450 trx450r polaris 450 kfx 450 suzuki 450 yamaha ktm and ds is most race ready quad in stock form now if after market add ons were in play trx 450 and alot of mods

If you had a big GNCC race that you had to be in tomorrow which quad would you buy and use showroom stock?</end quote></div>

If you did not vote KTM on this one, you should open your eyes and go check one out.

I don't own one, but I'm not blind either.
I mean the truth is so obvious that even my wife noticed.

If there was a real "stock" GNCC pro class everyone else would still be in real trouble.

i like the kfx too,but i voted for it cause its the only choice with reverse</end quote></div>



But you don't use reverse when you race.

I say DS450

 

I like the kawi, but voted for the yfz because it does have the best power to wieght ratio.

 

Just to make sure you guys now that there is a <u>all new</u> YFZ 450R for 09 with EFI. JFYI

Lots of people use reverse in xc racing.Sure the pros are good at avoiding situations where you would need it,but Im far from a pro.Whether I pick a bad line and end up in front of a tree or Im trying to find a way around a bottleneck,reverse saves time and more importantly(to me) it saves energy.
